Kane injury not as 'severe' as previous one

However, the injury does not appear to be as severe as initially feared and the player is likely to return for the club before the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are feeling positive about Harry Kane's injury, with the club issuing a statement on Tuesday evening.

Tottenham Hotspur have released a cautiously positive update on the ankle injury sustained by Harry Kane at the weekend.

Spurs said the injury is similar to the one Kane picked up against Sunderland on 18 September.

Tottenham play Southampton in the Premier League this weekend, but then fortunately for Spurs there is an worldwide break, giving their star player some time to recover without missing any club football.

Overall, fans were hoping that Kane makes a quick return so he can be ready in time for the FA Cup semi-final clash against Chelsea on the week commencing April 22.

The 23-year-old, who has 19 Premier League goals to his name this term, sustained a similar injury against Sunderland in September, but the initial prognosis suggests the complaint is less serious this time round.

England global Kane then promised the White Hart Lane faithful that he will be "working hard" to ensure he comes back to score more goals.

Southampton's unenviable task of getting a successful result from Sunday's trip to White Hart Lane may have just got a little easier, with hosts Tottenham set to be without main man Harry Kane for the encounter. In the meantime, the Tottenham manager is expected to start with Son Heung-min as his centre-forward.
